FYI: Barrett Jackson, '06, 6spd

rlt328 · 01-12-2011, 10:00 AM

Barrett Jackson auction is next week and they have a 2006 Slingshot 6 speed with 250 miles. It is going through the auction on Wednesday night (1/19) and you can watch it on Speed if you are not there. I am going to be there to see what it brings.

Good find, Bob . . .

Are you gonna be bidding or just watching?

rlt328 · 01-12-2011, 10:13 AM

Just watching on this one. I was interested in buying it but found my '05 last month with 450 miles. I spoke to the owner of this one and he said they were hoping for the mid $40's so at more then $10M cheaper I decided not to wait. If this sells at a good price it will be a nice buy being the last year. I am anxious to see what it brings.

Some add'l thoughts from earlier....

Second From Last Slingshot at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale

Catbert · 01-12-2011, 11:32 AM

I'll be there Wednesday as well - probably early.

Cash · 01-12-2011, 12:51 PM

As noted it is #284/285.
1GCES14H86B123581 Y Last Slingshot 6sp #284/285
1GCES14H_6B123582 Last Slingshot Yellow #285
The last info I have is #285 is owned by Fanatic RDB in Grand Rapids MI.

It is the Last 6sp.
It is nice to see a proper and knowledgeable write up by BJ as compared to the useless drivel provided for the Signatures at the (McDorman) Mecum Auction.

but do you really think it will make AIR at BJ? None of the others have, unless I missed something along the way.

ssrtruck · 01-12-2011, 01:21 PM

need to e-mail Mike Joy, and get him to make sure it airs.

rlt328 · 01-12-2011, 03:13 PM

I think this one is currently owned by a guy in San Diego, Ca. The man I spoke to owns San Diego Classic and Muscle Cars and said he had other cars going through Wed. night as well as the SSR.

He is not a Supporting Member. He has 19 posts last time I looked. I hope he has his PM notification on.

I would like this one. Next to the flamed I think yellow is my favorite colour in an SSR.

I'm sure that when I see Charlie's two tone the yellow will slide to third.

Hi Guys,
This SSR is just inside our "lot window" for today's coverage... so watch for it shortly after 7p EST.

Depending on the pace of the auction, we should come on the air at or near lot 406.

Commercials... we have little say when they happen or what lots will be missed... (streaming coverage continues during breaks at speed.com). The only cars that must make air are the Hagerty fantasy bid cars and certain charity and featured lots.

While we have some flexibility and input to move taped features and previews around during a segment, the commercial breaks have to come. We don't plan to miss certain cars or anything like that.

Right now the MG guys are all fired up because twice Tuesday we went to break as one rolled to the block... usually its the AMC fans that are mad at us. Its always something.... enjoy the show.
Mike

ssrtruck · 01-19-2011, 10:35 AM

THANK YOU MR. JOY. Great to hear from you. Keep up the good work

RSSRTOY · 01-19-2011, 10:53 AM

Thanks mike for the heads up. Ill have to record it this time as im not home when it starts.
Love the info you give on the cars. But sometimes its a little hard to watch cars go for the price that they are getting now. As ive had almost every model of 55-56-57 chevy. Sure do miss them. Thanks again.

Cash · 01-19-2011, 05:49 PM

Sold $46k plus Buyer Fee (10%)

Couldn't cycle top easily as they had the stickers on the passenger window.

Beat out the 73 Corvette with 86,300 miles for charity that went for $31K. Based on the other cars sold for charity I would think that is a good sign for our resale values.

PaceGuy · 01-19-2011, 06:55 PM

Great to see the truck pull this kind of money...and on a Wednesday no less!

Great coverage on SPEED as usual, and check out the live stream on the B-J website too. http://www.barrett-jackson.com/
